I love beeswax and all the amazing things it can do. I stock up on beeswax by the pounds and go through it rather quickly because of all the DIY projects that I create with it. As a prepper, it’s a dream of mine to one day have my own beehives. Bees are not only […]

I’m a big fan of multitasking. While I watch TV, I’m usually doing something else, as well. I can pay attention to multiple things at once. When it comes […]
Today, I’ve decided to start a gratitude journal. I think it’s long overdue. I think there’s so much crap going on in the world that we forget what’s right in front of us, what we have instead of what we don’t have, and who we have in our lives that make each day better. While […]
Everyone is on a specific budget. A budget doesn’t mean you have no money, it just means that you have a specific amount of money to spend on specific things throughout each month. The prepper world is very into gear (sometimes very expensive gear) and it seems like it’s impossible to prep if you’re on […]
